P2013-002 code "Major leak in

Seems like a cap with a deteriorated seal wouldn't be a 'major leak',
but who knows?
Maybe swap a cap over from a car that doesn't blink?
If the blinking light changes cars with the cap, there ya go.
P2013-002 code "Major leak in purge system. Hose in system not
connected or filler cap open P0455"
I'm guessing it is the gas cap, but maybe some leaky hose or something
but at least nothing particularly serious, just annoying. Interestingly
enough there is some parameter to watch in real
Those are always fun.
Toss your DAS on it and see what codes are stored. At least that way you’ll
know where it’s unhappy.

Drove the vehicle this morning. Took gas cap off and put it back on, cranked
it’s several clicks. After about 20min driving the blinking light came on
again but not CEL. Stopped, car sat for a coupla hours, drove home, no blinky
light. So it must be some marginal thing.

Check for split hoses, missing or torn gas cap gasket, and cracked plastic
parts. Any of them will give you fits, the tank does NOT vent out the cap (or
in, for that matter), all venting is through the evaporative control system.
You will need to verify the operation of all the valves too, as
I put the scanner on and it gave me a P2013-002 code "Major leak in
purge system. Hose in system not connected or filler cap open P0455"
I did not go drive it again but I cleared the code, took the cap off and
tightened it on again, will drive again tomorrow and see what sorts
out. If not
I was driving the ML to an appointment and the low fuel light started blinking
with 3/4tank. Shut down and it went off, then started again after driving a bit
then CEL came on after a few more minutes. I checked the gas cap, it’s tight.
Not sure what else it could be or what the blinking low
11 matches
